A prayer for each day of the week
Sunday – The Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle them in the power of your love. Fill our hearts also with an appreciation of your presence and recognition of the many gifts you give us. Open our eyes to humbly acknowledge the power we have in you and move our hearts to see how better to fulfil your holy will by using these gifts for others.
We ask this through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Father forever.
Amen.
Monday
We praise your abiding guidance, O God,
for you sent us Jesus, our Teacher and Messiah,
to model for us the way of love for the whole universe.
We offer this prayer of love
on behalf of ourselves and our neighbours,
on behalf of your creation and our fellow creatures.
Loving God,
open our ears to hear your word
and draw us closer to you,
that the whole world may be one with you
as you are one with us in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Tuesday
God of mercy and healing,
you who hear the cries of those in need,
receive our prayer for all who are troubled
that they may know peace, comfort, and courage.
Life-giving God,
heal our lives,
that we may acknowledge your wonderful deeds
and offer you thanks from generation to generation
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Wednesday
Redeeming Sustainer,
visit your people
and pour out your strength and courage upon us,
that we may hurry to make you welcome
not only in our concern for others,
but by serving them
generously and faithfully in your name. Amen.
Thursday
Loving God, believing that we are all made in your image,
We pray for justice, peace and an end to poverty,
Believing in the miracle of your love,
We pray for a dismantling of all systems that oppress.
Believing in the promise of creation made whole,
We pray for a vision of a new earth.
As we are made in your image,
May we live in your image and be Christ-like,
In service, endurance and love.
Friday
Gracious and generous God, Creator and Giver of all that is good, we thank you for our many blessings. We acknowledge that all that we have is from you. We offer you thanks and praise for the beauty of the earth, our work, our family, our loved ones, and all the gifts we have been given.
You are with us always. In each dark hour, you are here. In each bright hour, you are here.
Blessed by your grace, may we show gratitude by sharing what we have been given.
By serving our brothers and sisters, we serve you.
We remain ever grateful for your constant love, the gift of your Son Jesus, and the presence of your Holy Spirit with us.
Protect and guide us on our journey, and guide those who are involved in Diocesan, and parish stewardship leadership.
We remain your faithful stewards, Amen
